Have watched and read a few reviews on the S and the 75 is good enough on range and performance for us..

but a couple of nods toward the D being a bit better in the handling and ride department has lead me to question if its worth the extra 5k for the D?

Looking to pick a stock car up over the next couple of weeks, any must have options to look out for?

Thanks gents, popped into tesla at bordeaux to have a look, thought we wanted the pearl white seeing a stock one at chiswick online but that looked gopping so glad i saw that!

Silver or the grey suit the facelift much better imo but thats subjective...

Very helpfull assistant gave me the low down on hardware 1 v 2, the two different glass roofs.

Didnt think i wanted premium leather till i saw the difference eek the two tone in cream with alacantara was so so much better

She advised that air suspension was a must if on larger wheels but im nor bothered about them tbh, 17s with air susp. Is where we'll be at most likely

Didnt drive it as i didnt have time, i know we'll like it, been in one and driven the i3 and love the delivery and ev experience from i3, besides, its the only company car option we're being given hehe who are we to argue!

Looking forward to playing with the gadgets as much (if not more) than driving the car tbh

Will look at full options when i get the time, happy to put the 'D' money into the options now though...

i wander if the floor pan being full of batteries made that difference, I can't imagine a normal chassis floor pan being as strong, very low C of G must mean they don't tip easy either, thats a hell of a shunt & hitting kerb eek

gangzoom - I have just used your referral code as well. 75D, midnight silver, autopilot. It is one of the 'showroom models' although this one hasn't even reached the UK yet, so saved a bit as well. smile

The D cars have marginally better range, traction isn't really an issue on the 75 cars.

Options partly depend what your after, the 'premium pack' really adds very little for additional cost, where as I suspect your find it hard to sell it on in a few years if leather isn't a option.

We have the subzero pack on ours and heated steering wheel is great. Do wish we opted for premium sound though.

Autopilot can be activated at a later date so not really a deal breaker.

Good luck car searching, and don't be afraid to take lots of test drives, I did about 4 before ordering ours smile

Don't forget to use a referral link/code for £750 off on a new car and free for life supercharging.

Does that mean there are some cars not listed within the online inventory list? But wouldnt take full order time?

As im struggling a bit with the stock list at the moment, quite empty for 75s
